| Fear God.. obeying Him and abiding to His Word daily.
People change, sadly at times, not for the better, but worse, without them realizing. Uncertain of when they will realize it. The prodigal son - Luke 15: 11-32. Anyway, I believe He always wants us to go back to Him, even though we go astray.

| Have you ever doubted God? This question was posted at me. Well, I dont doubt who He is, and His Word.. It would be scary if you doubted anyway. Stand strong in your faith, my dear friend. But of course, at times, we would ask ourselves 'Why is this happening?'. I believe God sees whatever is happening. He grieves too..
I'm so certain that you ask that q's related to church, and why now you deny it? =(

| I listened attentively about the below, when I was asked, over yamcha session yesterday, and I thought it would be something great to chew on. =P
What are your priorities?
1) Career
2) Money
3) Power
4) Family (if i'm not mistaken)
5) God
6) Travelling, experience (fellowship)
Well, of course the first priority would be God. =)
Anyway, I'll further elaborate on my thoughts for the other points. For career, we should do our best in everything we do. But not to the extent where you get overwhelmed with work and no time for God and the other stuff in life. Moving on to money, it is undeniable that we all need money to buy stuff and etc, but take caution that the love of money is the root of all evil. Power.. with great power comes with great responsibility. We should all love our family. I enjoy fellowshipping. I'm not too sure why travelling and experience relates to fellowship though. I forgot the reason. =P Experience is a learning process.
p/s: the above is NOT in order, its just random order... thus, it does not represent my priority order.

| -Let us exalt His name together-
At all times I will bless Him
His praise will be in my mouth
My soul makes its boast in the Lord
The humble man will hear of Him
The afflicted will be glad
And join with me to magnify the Lord
Let us exalt His name together, forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears.
Let us exalt His name together, forever
0 sing His praises magnify the Lord
The angel of the Lord encamps
Round those who fear His name
To save them and deliver them from harm
Though lions roar with hunger
We lack for no good thing
No wonder then we praise Him with our song
Come children now and hear Him
If you would see long life
Just keep your mouth from wickedness and lies
Do good and turn from evil
Seek peace instead of strife
Love righteousness and God will hear your cry

| A non-christian colleague knowing that I'm a christian asked me yesterday if it was okay for me to be with a non-christian, personally. I felt quite difficult to answer that question. Indeed, we know what is written in His Word, 2 Corinthians 6:14. That would mean the answer should be a 'No'. But when we are in love with a non-christian, the question here would be, will we choose to follow His Word or to just follow our own heart desire? Well, I believe values and standards are different from non-christian. The colleague even commented that there are people who are in a relationship with a non-christian will try very hard to convert the partner into Christianity. But is it just because they want a Christian partner? I believe Christianity is a personal walk with God, your own faith and belief in Him. I have heard cases where relationship with a non-christian does not last long, and in the end they don't get together because the Christian knows it is wrong to enter into one, and the person gets hurt. At times, it really makes me wonder what is right and what is wrong now. Is it okay to be with a non-christian? On another note, I look at one of my christian friend's life. He was a Christian leader, and yet he gave up his post in serving, when he chose to be with a non-christian, because he knows it's wrong, I think. But he's still enjoying his life. He knows the Word of God quite well. At one point in time, being his friend, i was indeed sad and disappointed in the decision he made, but we all just have to respect his decision. I guess at some point, when a Christian makes a decision to be with a non-christian, the Christian's heart is hardened. Hebrews 3:13. It creates loss of sensitivity, thus hindering our ability to hear God's voice. In our walk/journey, there can be many temptations indeed. Luke 4:1-13. God our 1st love..
Forgiveness.. Reconciliation.. Have i really forgiven the person who had hurt me? And has the person truly forgiven me yet? I was reading this book 'Bait of Satan'.
